Burnt at Both Ends - It Prevails

Holding hindsight, terrible decisions and blurred days

Not a care at all back then of the man I’d be today

I dug myself a hole

Now the ground’s too far to reach, so it seems

I’m done living this life of contradiction

It makes me scared to know that I portray my life through words you’ve read

(The words you’ve read)

And what good is your heart and the words that you say when you’re dead?

(I have so much left to give)

I’m wasting away, becoming the person I never wanted to be And I won’t let

these things dictate who I am (I'll be the person that you never had)

And what a world I’ve woke to

All of you are so far I’ve been standing still

Because I had it burning at both ends

Burning at both ends for far too long

They made me feel alive, they made me feel whole

Now I’m nothing but alive and far from whole

Walking down the wrong roads, time and time again

I’ve put so much shit into myself, I don’t know how I am standing

I pushed myself from you all

And I have no one else to blame but myself

And this fucking empty shell that I am left with

Lies, I’ve said

I can’t take them back, but I can start over

Not sure if I’m proud of the life I’ve lead

But I am still alive, so I can make a difference

I can make this change

I’m wasting away, becoming the person I never wanted to be And I won’t let

these things dictate who I am

And what a world I’ve woke to

All of you are so far I’ve been standing still

Because I had it burning at both ends

Burning at both ends for far too long

They made me feel alive, they made me feel whole

Now I’m nothing but alive and far from whole

Lies, I’ve said

I can’t take them back, but I can start over

Not sure if I’m proud of the life I’ve lead

But I am still alive, so I can make a difference

I can make this change
